MiniQuery

MiniQuery is a front-end library specifically designed to be a lightweight, compact version of JQuery.

MiniQuery comes with all the important JQuery methods you know and love. This includes the following:

.val()
.html()
.text()
.first()
.last()
.eq()
.each()
.hasClass()
.toggleClass()
.addClass()
.removeClass()
.find()
.get()
.filter()
.attr()
.parent()
.parents()
.children()
.siblings()
.css()
.append()
.prepend()
.remove()
.on()
.one()
.off()
.data()
.removeData()
.end()

A full list of its methods can be found in the miniQuery.html file.

Usage Example:

var grandpa = z(".grandparent") // MiniQuery is accessible through the globally exposed function: z();
	z(grandpa)
		.find(".input")
		.parent()
		.data("note","Thanks for testing MiniQuery")
		.children()
		.val(function(){
			return (z(this).parent().data("note"));
		})
	.end()
		.find(".baby")
		.css({background : "lightgreen"})
	.end()
		.find(".dad > div")
		.on("click", function(){
			var count = (Number(z(this).data("count"))+1 || 1);
			z(this).data("count", count);
			z(".input").val(count);
		})
	.end();
	/*
		The above example
		- Changes the value of the ".input" element
		- Edits the css of the ".baby" element
		- Increments a counter saved as data on a ".dad > div" element, whenever it is clicked
	*/

MiniQuery comes with the important functionality of JQuery but none of the bloatware. It is written entirely in ES5,and provides intuitive, easy to use methods for accessing, and navigating the DOM and its elements.

MiniQuery allows you to easily create plugins and include them in your project. An example of such a plugin is available in the scroll file

This is an ongoing, maintained project, and any suggestions are welcome.
